TUESDAY TUNES: Make Out Songs

This week I thought we'd all post our favorite make-out songs (maybe for our characters ... maybe for us personally)!

Sheri:Can't help it, especially after this weekend. It has to be "I'll BeThere For You" by Bon Jovi. ";-)

I'll be there for you.These five words I swear to you.When you breath, I want to be the air for you.I'll be there for you.

I'd live and I'd die for you.I'd steal sun from the sky for you.Words can't say what love can do.I'll be there for you.

Jessie:I think Joshua Radin's songs are beautiful and romantic and I can totally see having a make-out session to them. (Unfortunately, he came a little after my make-out days.) However, I'm going to go with "I'm Yours" by The Script:

I may not have the softest touchI may not say the words as suchAnd though I may not look like muchI'm yoursAnd though my edges may be roughAnd never feel I'm quite enoughIt may not seem like very muchBut I'm yours

For me, I can envision the soft guitar chords playing as the characters get closer and closer to each other, leaning in for that first kiss. Slightly rough fingers play over her cheek bones as he cradles her face, and the song echoes in the background: I may not have the softest touch. I'd be gone if that ever happened to me. :)

AE: With two wily, busy teens in our little house, if opportunity for a smooch knocks, hubby and I are taking it, with or without the music. ~_^ I don't really have a song for my characters, either, but I play Corrupt by Depeche Mode when I'm writing the steamy, tingly scenes. But, with RESONANCE I've been breaking some of my old molds and have been listening to the Falling Slowly duet by Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox while writing scenes with River and Faith.

Jessie:Okay, I'm going to go with Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. It's a bit "old school," but it's the song I remember playing the very first time I kissed my husband (before we were married, of course :D ) Even now the lyrics speak volumes to me.

I never opened myself this wayLife is ours, we live it our wayAll these words I don't just sayAnd nothing else matters

Nikki:Like AE, I don't have a make out song, so I had to dig through iTunes for something! I think Flyleaf's 'All Around Me' stood out the most...

My hands are searching for youMy arms are outstretched towards youI feel you on my fingertipsMy tongue dances behind my lips for you
